Elizabeth had already risen to depart
and with an impulse to avoid his notice,
she stepped hastily into dark corridor
that led TO the descending stairs
In the obscurity, and in her nervous
haste, she tripped upon something,
stumbled and fell.
She was on her feet in an instant,
trembling with excitement and mortitica-
ton of her rather ridiculous disaster, and
in the instant she turned to stand face TO
face with the young gentleman whose
observation she had meant TO evade.
= Are you hurt p he began, and then
stopped in astonishment at beholding
her
Her blue eyes lowered before his earn
est, comprehensive gaze. Her fair face
crimsoned; her red lips quivered with
a smile which was half girIish pout
The young lady had been caught in a
corner just as her Uncle Gay had predict
ed she would be, and the fact was not
altogether ENJOYABLE, considering her as
snmed fiippancy of the morning and her
fibs about the dressmaker
so you are the mysterious angel of
charity who has preceded me in half
the house, / have visited to-day" and
Mr.. Keith smiled. as he led her down
to his sleigh
And you are the gentleman who has
always held the poor accountable for
their own poverty Elizabeth return

My love, have never claimed that
fact exempted us from relieving their
wants" said he. And now We are to
share the work together henceforth, my
darling, and | feel my content is COM
plete."
For, somehow, as they drove away to-
gether to the sound of the merry sleigh
bells, one soft, white hand had slipped
into his; eyes looked love to eyes which
spoke again" and they knew that hence
forth they should journey side by side,
down the way of life.
| am awfully sorry about the party
at De Valo's. though Elizabeth present
ly said
We have time enough for that yet"
he answered, :" if your dressmaker is
not an obstacle"
Don't remind me of the wicked fib-
bling. wonder you believed it," she
laughed.
Uncle Guy was delighted at the de
nouneement.
Caught in corner, eh Well, | told
YOU so he chuckled.

days when the road was bumpy and
the trains slow, and especislly so when
the train is behind time. One notices
the change Immediately. The scooter

curves which overhang the deep gorges

his heart that the place IL il going To

speed Is 40 much greater than by the
old schedule, especially when the fast

here to Helena the track is straight

The passenger grasps the back of the

death. Before his brief prayer Is end

train slows up and u dramatic pause is
made, presumably.to impress upon the
people on board that they are just
about TO enter the capital Of Montana.
